Good to know in Austin

Light cleaning is the usual home cleaning: kitchens, bathrooms, floors, dusting and a light tidy. It suits regular upkeep, a reset before guests, or a move-out clean, as long as the work stays within that scope. Mold, biohazards and dust after construction aren't part of it, and neither are outside windows above the ground floor.

Tell your helper what they'll find

The price depends on the size of your home and what you want done, so list the rooms and the number of bathrooms. Say whether cleaning supplies are there or should be brought, and mention any pets.

Move-out cleaning

When a lease ends, landlords often check the kitchen, the bathrooms and the floors before returning a deposit. Ask for exactly what you need in your task: inside the oven and fridge, the cabinets, the baseboards. Anything beyond what you agreed needs a change agreed before the work starts.

Regular cleaning

If you want the same helper every week or two, book them again from your past bookings. They'll already know your home and how you like it done.
